I don't know what the weather is like where you are, but it has been HOT here in New York. When it is this hot, there is nothing I like to do more than stretch out in front of my air conditioner with a good book. And the timing couldn't be better because, after collecting a great (and long) list of suggested summer reading from you, we've selected the book we'll read to kick off the SciFri Book Club. It's time to head out to the library or your favorite book store and pick up a copy of Silent Spring by Rachel Carson.
